Figures Customized Classified B.A.T.s

Julius Downey · 08-10-2022, 10:29 PM

Hasbro Classified Joes have exceptional sculpts. The Cobra B.A.T. is no exception, it comes with a lot of very cool storytelling accessories like different weapons and battle damage pieces. Still, something about it felt unfinished to me, and I wanted to make mine more “edgy” and bring out some of the amazing sculpt details that get lost because of the limited paint apps. That’s completely understandable as I’m sure any additional paint applications, just like more accessories, would up the production costs and eat away at the margins.

So I did some painting and added some aftermarket accessories my brother got for me as bday gifts from a seller on Etsy. I tried to make what’s supposed to be metal look like metal as best to my ability, as well as taking down some of the bright plastic colors. There’s a lot of amazing details that really pop with a little more highlight. I’m happy with how they turned out.

They look great. The work you did on the attachments really make them pop and you can appreciate the sculpts more

Thank you. That was the point. These sculpts are AMAZING. Kudos to the Hasbro designers. One integrated color plastic doesn’t do these incredible sculpts justice.

More dakka is a good thing. And by that I mean more firepower. Also the weathering looks pretty nice
